So the journey begins. Actually, it started long ago, but the exciting part is the experience of going after all the planning and dreaming. I will try to use the blog as a way of communicating. If I can't access it in C.R., then I will send email updates. I am hopeful this will be a better way of leaving messages and even adding photos.

I have seen many friends this past week and I have been more than encouraged. Thank you all for sharing in this with me. It means so much to know I have such a great rally of friends and family behind me! I really don't know what to expect, but as you have encouraged me...I am quite expectant of something awesome!

As you think of me, pray my brain would become a sponge for the language. I am told that my host family will only be speaking Spanish and the classes are immersion. (What have I gotten myself into?!?! :) )

The itnerary...Two weeks in Heredia, then to Samara on the Pacific Coast for two weeks, and then back to San Jose for a month with the Sellers.

Until next time...
